The big Dutch man was at baseball headquarters yesterday, having just returned from Ohio, where he has been with the Pirate barn Hotels Will Be Overcrowded on Saturday E. E. Smath-ers, Former Pittsburger, stormers.

He fanned a bit about the coming big clash, and gave it as his opinion that Brooklyn would give the Redsox more of a battlo than most of the fairs seemed to think. THEY ARE talking a lot about the Redsox' pltclwr," sold Hoiai, "fevt don't forget that Brooklyn ha some tirirlers. too.

I presume Carrigan vrlll mart with Leonard. That would appear loartcal to me, as it has been claimed that Brooklyn doean't like left-handera. This aeries look to me like one in which no alnalr pitcher will be able to atar to the exclusion of others. Both teams have ajood harlera, and a variety of them may be used. "BY THE WAY, I may slip over to see a game or two.

Do you know, rvt never seen a world's series game ir. my life except those in which a team of' which I was a member participated. I'd like to see the excitement and the fun. Maybe I'll go to Brooklyn to see one of the games there." Warner and Defense. GLENN WARNER, Pitt's great football coach, smiled when he vas shown a clipping from an eastern paper, commenting on the possible strength of his team, and bringing forth the old claim that Warner never developed defensive gridiron efficiency.

"THEY'VE BEEV bringing that aealnit me for some time," said Glean. The complaint originated when I was at Carlisle. Yon take the Indiana. By. heredity and training, they are a careless lot.

It la Ingrained In them. For Instance, wheat receiving a pant, nn Indian never thinks abont whether he will fumble or not. He think. 'Oh, this Is easy. and plana la advance Just where he will ran when he gets the ball.

Consequently, he often fnmblea, because be la careleaa. When a college lad Is up against aot-li a proposition, the thing that looma bljr befora htm an the ball eoniea to him is the enormity of a fumble. He plays It safe, and he nakn fewer fumbles. The Indiana were often scored upon Jnat throuack such slips an I have mentioned. As matter of fact, there was nothing wroaaT with the theory of defense they had been taught, but the mistakes they made were individual, due to carelesaneas, which, as I said.

Is born In them, and which no coach can eradicate. I have never failed to teach defense, as well as offense. However, the attack is the real science of football. Of course, there must be instruction on defense. The men must know where to play for certain opponents and on certain plays, but, after all.

the defense depends more on the Individual In a pinch than upon any theory which can be handed to him." The Phillies Missed Bancroft. THE PHILLIES might have staved off their elimination from consideration as a w-orlds' series contender but for the injury to Davy Bancroft, and his absence from the team in the final series with the Braves. He was missed more than any other member of the team would have been at this time. Milton Stock, who took his place at shortstop, did his work well, but balls went through short for hits on Stock which would have been killed by Bancroft. BANCROFT HAD been playing marveloun ball -for two months before he was hurt.

While he had not hotted up to his 1915 form, hta work afield kept the team together several times when it looked as if It waa about to skid. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

John McGraw, disgruntled manager of the Giants, may yet have to explain his action in declaring his players did not give him their best efforts in the game with Brooklyn Tuesday. Members of the National Commission have come to view his assertion with some feeling it developed today. McGraw was not present to see his team win from the Dodgers yesterday, but instead occupied a seat at the Polo Grounds, where the Yankees won two games from the Senators. He refused to modify his declaration in any way. Members of the New York club are highly indignant Over the outburst, and some of them intimate they will not again play under the leadership of McGraw.

Hence his retirement. Fans will remember two hot encounters between Manuel and Grayber last spring. In the first scrap the Erie Italian sprung a big surprise and, by fighting a crafty battle, fairly earned the decision over bis adversary. Grayber was given a chance to avenge this defeat, and succeeded, winning by narrow margin. The accident to Houcl? gives them an opportunity to fight th "rubber" Saturday.

The members of the varsity squad have been divided into groups which met each other, and then they have had two or three good workouts against Coach Kerr's freshmen. As predicted by those who saw the youngsters in their early drills, they are making things quite interesting for the varsity, and the tussles between Warner's men and the juveniles are almost as exciting as resrular tramps Th 4newcomerg are fast getting into condi tion approximating that of the Wind- Der-trained varsity and when they are on equal terms from the physical standpoint the battles will be even more closely fought. A corps of men are busy today putting the big field in shape for football. Goalposts are being erected, the field lined off and the chalkmarks which enable the spectators to judge of the progress of tie ball put in place. It Is hoped that jiirre splendid new scoreboard will be irjgfiape for Saturday's game.

An erR feature of the Westminster fracasm be the reading of bulletins from the first world's series baseball game, which will be received promptly at Forbes Field and megaphoned to the crowds. The Pitt student band will, as usual, furnish music before the game and between periods. CLICQUENNOI MAT NOT PLAT. Clicquenrioi, the big Warren boy who subbed at tackle a year ago, and who had been expected to make a strong bid for the position this year, has returned from the Mexican border, where he had been engaged in Y. M.

C. A. work throughout the summer. However, it is not likely that he will be able to give time to football this season, as he is acting as secretarv of th University Employment bureau. This leaves the fight for the vacancy at right tackle to Hilty and Seidel, and It is likely that both of these men will be seen in the Westminster game at the position.

Gougler and Hastings are devoting a good deal of time to kicking practice. and both, apparently, are as capable of aacnng to put score by the field goal route as at any time in the Dast. Gougler acquired the art at Conway nan, wnere ne starred before entering the university, and distinguished himself in his freshman year, 1915, by driving the ball between the goalposts in the games with Carlisle and Penn State. He is a most capable running mate for Hastings, who is recognized as one of the very best drop and place kickers ever developed in Western Pennsylvania. DIRECT WIRE INTO MOOSE TEMPLE FOR THE BIG SERIES The telegraph companies have made extraordinary preparations for ta' Ing care of the returns from the woi Id's series games, and Secretary "Jack" Forrest, of the Moose Temple, has been given absolute assurance that the direct loop into the Temple for the electric board which has been erected on the stage of the auditorium will be in tiptop working, order on Saturday, when the first game starts.

Inasmuch as every ball, strike and movement of the ball, as well as unusual demonstrations by the crowd, unusual happenings, will be shown on the board and by megaphone, only operators of experience can handle the key- on this occasion, but Mr. Forrest has been assured that they will be on hand. The Moose Temple auditorium, on Penn between Sixth and Seventh will be open to the public starting Saturday at 1 p. and every day that the games are being shown, and reserved seats are on sale now, for those who wish to be certain to have a seat. Popular prices will be charged, and there are sufficient seats to accommodate a large crowd.

outfielder and is fairly efficient as a base-runner. Wheat, however. Is the only one of the Brooklyn gardeners who compares favorably with the famous trio gathered by Bill Oarrigan. Myers and Johnston have been -taking turns in center garden, and neither is above the average outfielder. Johnston's fielding at times is atrocious and his hitting has been weak.

He also is weak as a base-runner, in spite of the fact that he once stole more than 100 bases in the Pacific Coast league. Myers is a much better fielder than Johnston, but is a good hitter only when facing left-hand pitching. He and Johnston have been maneuvered against right and left-handers. Casey Stengel, who holds down the right field garden fr the Dodgers, is another dangerous slugger and is a clean-up hitter feared everywhere in the National league. He has become adept at his position in the Deodger park.

He is popular with Brooklyn fans. He is used ordinarily when righthanders oppose the Dodgers. Hooper, Walker and Lewis are acknowledged everywhere to be the essence of defense. They cover everv spot in the outfield with marvelous efficiency and everyone of them wields a bat that carries fear to the hearts of opposing slabmen. Hooper twice laced the ball out of the Philadelphia park last year for home runs, winning the contest by his efforts alone.

Lewis is another slugger, and is rated one of the nerviest of pinch hitters. Walker is spending his first year with the Redsox and has done well in Tris Speaker's shoes, both as a hitter and a fielder. He hasn't turned in an average of .300, but his hits have been timely and many of them of the long distance variety. Henriksen and Shorten are available for duty in the outfield for the Redsox if needed. Ban Johnson and Garry Herrmann will leave this afternoon for Boston, where they will take charge of arrangements for the.

series. John K. Tener will not go to Boston until tomorrow. At Ebbets Field, where the National league's share of the title games will be staged, there is every indication that already every reserved seat for three games has been sold. The first big bet, on the series was reported today when H.

E. Smathers. former Pittsburger and owner of Dan Patch, bet $20,000 to $14,000 the Redsox would clean up. Smathers also is reported to have bet $8,000 against $.10,000 the Giants won't win the National flag next year. AClothesCall Makes First Big Bet Boston.

Oct. 5. The greatest out-of-town crowd ever to visit Boston for a world's series is predicted here today by hotel managers. Thousands cf res-' ervations for rooms continue to pour into Boston and it is estimated that between 25.000 and S0.000 persons will bo seeking hotel accommodations by Saturday. It was announced today that it would be impossible for Jack Barry to' start in the first game against the Dodgers Saturday.

He still has two lingers of his injured hand bound in tape. Harold Janvrin will be at second. The Redsox: will go to "Worcester, this afternoon, where they will play a game for the benefit of a fund for erection of a monument to John tJaffney. a former umpire. New York, Oct.

5. Triumphant after their smashing drives down the stretch the pennant races in the two major leagues, the Boston Redsox and the Brooklyn Dodgers are resting today, taking a final breath before the open- ing same of the world's series Saturday in Boston. The race is over in the American league and the Redsox will have only practice for their labors today. The Dodger regulars may be in uniform but, like yesterday, they probably will not be asked to take part in the game with the Ofants, which will end the season for them. Tearing their way through every ob-.

stacle, fighting off attack after attack, holding up their heads when it seemed that victory could not be won, these teams have proved their nerve, their unflinching hearts. They go into what promises to be one of the most interesting series ever played between -iubs of the National and American leagues, after the tightest race since the never-forgotten finish in 190S, when the Cubs and Giants fought down to the last day. REDSOX FAVORED TO WIN. The Redsox. world's champions from last year, when they pounded out four victories in five games over the Phillies, will go into the series favored to win.

Man for man, the team representing the American league stands out us a better organization than its National league rt It is hard to make a comparison of the pitching staffs, for American league pitching has been conceded to be stronger than the National brand for several years. Also it is held that American league pitchers have to face heavier batting than their brothers in the Tener circuit. In the past American league hurlers borne up well under heavy assaults from the older organization and it seems reasonable to believe they will do so this year. The Brooklyn hurlers have done remarkably well. They have had a powerful scoring machine to help them out, but there have been times, as there are in the life of every baseball club, where the issue depended upon tight pitching and they rose to the occasion.

GREAT PITCHING STAFFS. It will be up to Shore, Ruth, Leonard, Foster and Mays to hold down the slugging bats of such wallopers as Casey Stengel, Jake Daubert and Zack Wheat, not to speak of "Chief" Meyers and some of the smaller fry, who are not considered small fry by National league hurlers in any sense ol the word. Against Marquard. Pfeffer, Coombs, Smith and Cheney, the Redsox hitters, although their batting averages are not so imposing as those of their National league rivals, are expected to manufacture enough runs to win a majority of the games. With an infield defense second to none, the Redsox probably will, with, the aid of their classy pitching staff, hold Dodger scoring to a minimum.

In the catching department the Redsox have the edge. In Agnew, Cady, Carrigan and Thomas, they have four excellent receivers. Cady probably will get to do all the big series work unless Carrigan himself elects to take a hand. Brooklyn must depend upon "Chief" Meyers and Otto Miller, neither of whom compares favorably with the Boston wind-paddiste. Meyers is slow, and ao Is Miller.

Both are good hitters, but very slow on the bases. Cady, Carrigan and Agnew are dependable hitters, star receivers, and are fast in fielding bunts. of the competing clubs has two first basemen. Merkle and Daubert are the Dodgers doorkeepers and Hoblitzel and Gainor do the same duties for.the Redsox. in spite of Daubert's fame as a hitting and Holding first baseman, it is doubtful if he has much of an edge over his American league rivals.

He is not a hitter of the clean-up type, while both American leaguers are. Hoblitzel ajid Gainor, too, are good fielders. It will be interesting to watch the work Daubert compared with the Ameri-. tan leaguers in a world's series. MAN FOR MAN COMPARISON.

Merkle Is rated a better hitter of the clean-up type than Daubert, but Daubert's all-around usefulness seems to preclude the possibility of Merkle's entry into the title series. Gainor probably will see duty when the Redsox are opposed by a left-hander. George Outs-haw and Jack Barry both are great fielders and fine generals. Barry, however, because of his experience, is given a wide edge in usefulness in a world's series conflict. Cut-tihaw is known as one of the game's best hitters when the hit means runs, but Barry's reputation is only slightly less brilliant.

This will be Barry's tsixth world's series, and he never has failed to give a good account of himself. There is no way to compare Scott and Olson. Scott is a more brilliant fielder and is much faster. Olson's greatest value lies in his fighting spirit and his quick thinking. He is a much better hitter than Scott, but, as has been remarked, he probably will find it much more difficult to make this asset overcome Scott's brilliance in other departments.

Both clubs are well fortified at third 'base. Mike Mowrey's steady fielding and his nervy hitting in the pinches have been a big factor in the Brooklyn success. He fields just as well as JLarry Gardner, his Redsox rival, but his average at batting is not so high. Gardner has consistently hit UJOO -or better all season. REDSOX OUTFIELD BEST.

Zach Wheat, of the Dodgers, is an outfielder who compares very favorably with most of the high-class outfield guardians in either circuit. He is a. slugger of the most dangerous 9 type and his hitting, unlike that of po many fence-busters, is consistent Recently he went 29 games without missing a safe hit in each contest. Besides his hitting prowess, he is a good. COOMBS AND MARQUARD TO DO HURLING Philadelphia.

Oct. 5. That Man a ere Robinson of the Superbas will rely largely upon Jack Coombs Rube Marquard in the world's series is believed by members of the Braves and flumes, who say that the two veterans are the best pitchers Brooklyn has for Buch a nerve-racking series as is to come. Coombs has been through three world's series and never lost a game. The closest he came to defeat was when he injured himself at the Polo grounds in 1913 and retired with the contest a tie.

Ma. Vuard has performed in three battlei for the world's title. He de feated the Athletics in 1S11 and took two games the following' year from the Redsox. He is in great form once more, and has a manager for whom he will work his head off, Robinson being the Giant coach who nursed the south paw along when AicGraw is sata to have become disgusted with him.
